Chairman Troy called the meeting to order at 2:10 p.m. The
first item on the agenda was the Annual Report on Admissions and
Financial Aid — UM/Amherst, UM/Boston and UM/Worcester.
In a basic summary President Knapp felt that the reports
showed a good year for admissions.
Larry Benedict and Dave Taggart gave the report from the Am-
herst campus. It was noted that there is presently the largest
freshman class in the history of the University. Because of this
alternative majors were offered to 2300 freshman. The mean SAT
scores were 40 points above the States average. They were 462
verbal and 508 math. It was noted that freshman minority enroll-
ment had declined.

(Doc. T83-

Chancellor Corrigan said that 4,000 students had been absorbed
from Boston State. Also a hiring freeze had been imposed so some
Boston State staff members could not be placed. It was noted that
admissions applications had increased by 17% and that UM/Boston is
the only land grant University in New England to see this increase.
Minority admissions are the highest in the history of the Univer-
sity at a time when minority enrollment is decreasing in other
colleges and universities.
UM/Boston is also holding "Back to College" seminars for those
adults seeking information on returning to college.
Chancellor Tranquada stated that the greatest problem facing
his campus was the disappearance of subsidized loans.

Although there has been a decrease in the number of applica-
tions at UM/Worcester there is an increase in the measure of
achievement of entering students. UM/Worcester also showed a
poor record in minority admissions.
- The next item on the agenda was the Proposal for a Master of
Science in Nursing — UM/Worcester. This resulted from a series of
consultations with the other campuses. Following brief discussion
it was moved, seconded and
VOTED : To recommend that the Board approve, subject
to the concurrence of the Board of Regents ,
the Master of Science in Nursing Program at
the University of Massachusetts at Worcester
as described in Doc. T83-001.
There was then discussion on the Waiver of Requirement to Re-
turn from Sabbatical Leave — UM/Worcester. Trustee Troy felt that
the campuses should begin to make the obligation to return from
sabbatical more stringent. Trustee Robsham stated that since
there have been several requests for waives that consideration
should be given to reviewing the present policy.
It was then moved, seconded and

fairs Committee meeting at which the Trust Fund Management Policy
had been discussed. There was also a review of the sub-committee
that met on February 2 and of the letter that President Knapp sent
to Trustee Kurzman answering his question.
Trustee Kurzman then reviewed his concerns on the Trust Fund
Management Policy. He stated that Trustee Knowles has answered
many of his concerns during the sub-committee meeting. He re-
viewed what he felt was conflicting information from the Building
Authority, the campuses and the President's office. He was assured
by General Counsel Searson that any discrepencies between the Uni-
versity and the Building Authority had been resolved. Trustee
Kurzman then recommended that the policy be passed.
Trustee Murphy then raised his concerns about the costs in
fees. He felt that the policy is based on the assumption that
FY84 reserve will be available. He felt that the fee increases
are actually more than the policy indicates.

UM/Amherst —
Chancellor' s
Report
UM/Worcester-
Chancellor 's
Report
Chancellor Duffey reported that the present freshman class is
the largest in the history of the campus. He feels that the trend
will continue as applications increase and occupancy of the resi-
dence halls is up. The request for courses is greater than their
availability.
Chancellor Tranquada reported that February is cultural diver-
sity month with activities planned throughout.
Two of the Medical School faculty members have been presented
with national awards for heart research.

UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS
The Pediatric Department at UM/Worcester has been chosen as
a participant for a survey in infant disease.
The Chancellor then noted the appointment of Dr. Brian
Blackburn as a Professor of Pathology.
Admissions at UM/Worcester show a decrease in applications
although this is a national trend in medical schools. To date,
ninety percent of the present applicants have been accepted.
Trustee Troy then gave the report of the Committee on Aca- .
demic and Student Affairs.
BoT
2/9/83
The first item was the Report on Admissions and Financial
Aid.
Larry Benedict and Dave Taggart from UM/Amherst reported that
this years' freshman class was the largest ever and that alternate
majors had to be offered to 2300 students. SAT scores were 40
points above the state average. The number of students receiving
financial aid had increased, yet there is an unmet need on the
campus for such aid. Alsos , Amherst is the largest processor of
guaranteed student loans.
Applications at UM/Boston are up 17% and UMass is the only
land grant University to see this increase. Minority admissions
are the highest in the history of the University. "Back to
College" seminars are being held with counselors available to
assist students in applying for financial aid.
Because of the disappearance of subsidized loans the present
graduating class at UM/Worcester has a deficit of $26,000. There
has been an increase in the measure of achievement of entering
students yet a poor record in minority admissions.
The Committee then recommended a Master of Science in Nurs -
ing Program — UM/Worcester, for the fall of 1984. This would re-
quire six full-time faculty members. There is discussion among
the three campuses to institute an identical program. It was
moved, seconded and
VOTED ; To approve, subject to the concurrence
of the Board of Regents, the Master of
Science in Nursing Program at the Univer-
sity of Massachusetts at Worcester as
described in Doc. T83-001.
There was then discussion on a Waiver of Sabbatical Leave
Requirement — UM/Worcester. It was noted that very few of these
requests come before the Board compared to the number of faculty
taking such leave. Trustee Robsham asked to be recorded opposed

Trustee Sweeney then reviewed prior meetings of the Trust Fund
Management Policy and of the questions raised by students and
Trustees. Student Trustee Murphy asked that "student fee review
committees" be included in the review process. Chancellor
Corrigan asked that it be changed to a campus review committee
since there is already one established and that it would include
a student. The amendment was changed to read "appropriate student
fee review committee." Trustee Murphy also asked that the policy
be amended so that the impact statement be included in the motion
thus ensuring that fee increases due to full costing reserves will
not exceed 1.1% and 1.4% in FY84 and FY84 respectively.
Trustee Kurzman felt that this motion was locking in the Uni-
versity Administration rather than protecting the student. The
amendment did not pass. It was then moved, seconded and

Vice Chancellor for this position. Trustee Knowles
agreed that a central person for development was un-
necessary.

The Trustees then considered the following motion:
MOVED : To approve the FY85 Budget Request contained
in Doc. T83-070.
After the motion was seconded a discussion ensued. Several
members of the Board expressed dismay at the lack of Trustee input
into the budget request process prior to the request being sub-
mitted to the Regents. There was also concern expressed regarding
the cuts the Regents had made in the University's request.
Trustee Sweeney moved that the vote be amended to include a
statement deploring the cuts and asking that a meeting be arranged
with the Trustees and the Regents.
The Trustees then discussed Trustee Sweeney's proposal amend-
ing state-merit. There was opposition to amending the vote and
there were those who felt that the statement was vague and/or
abrasive in tone.
Trustee Sweeney withdrew his amendment and moved that the
Board either table the budget request or vote not to approve. Be-
cause of the time constraints of the budget process this motion
was denied.
Trustee Carlin suggested that there be two votes — one dealing
with the budget request and one dealing with Trustee Sweeney's
statement. This suggestion was accepted and it was
VOTED : To approve the FY84 Budget Request con-
tained in Doc. T83-070.
Trustees Carlin and Reeves voted against the motion.
